Book Giveaways & a Podcast

Hello Everyone!

How are you all doing? I hope your summer is going well!

It's been a very busy summer thus far for me with lots of Quilting, Cleaning, Organizing, and Playing. I recently got back on Friday from Church Girl's Camp and have spent the weekend recovering. I'm not quite as limber as I used to be. lol.

Well, It's time for a

Fresh Fabric Treat Book Giveaway and Podcast.

Here are a few pictures I took of the Fresh Fabric Treat Book that was displayed at the C&T Publishing Booth at Quilt Market. It was my first look at the book and it was so fun to finally see it for REALS!!!

About the Book Signing:

To celebrate the debut of Fresh Fabric treats we had a book signing event on Sunday afternoon on the last day of Quilt Market where Stash Books gave away 3 1/2 boxes full of books. It was really fun gathering with a few of the Moda Bake Shop Designers who were able to make the trip to Quilt Market in Salt Lake City this year. Here we are posing for a few pictures while laughing and entertaining the crowd that gathered to get a free signed copy for their stores.

Here's the actual book I'm giving away that I had signed by a few of the designers. I'm sorry that I couldn't get more of the designers to sign it but, not everyone was there at market and some had to leave early before the book signing on Sunday.

Here's how it all happened. I was sitting in the dining area after the book signing just enjoying a Ham and Swiss Cheese Panini with my friend Lori Holt. We were talking about the last few days of quilt market and she was telling me that she was just relaxing and waiting for her next interview with Annie Smith. I thought that was really exciting for Lori to be doing an interview.

It wasn't long before Annie joined our little group that had gathered in the dining area. It was so fun to meet her and to talk with her. One thing led to another and before I knew it she was inviting me to talk with her after Lori and do an interview to promote the new book I'm in called "Fresh Fabric Treats" (make sure to check with your local quilt shoppes to purchase the book).

Annie is delightful! She's a wonderful quilter, appliquer, and designer along with being an amazing blogger and podcaster. You will definitely want to visit her blog often. Her most recent podcast is an interview she did with my friend Lori Holt. It's podcast #206.

I took a few pictures of my projects before packing them up in a box and shipping them off to the publishers for almost a years time. I just got them back a few months before Quilt Market.

I made the "Pack N' Go Tote" with the Quilter in mind. Fill it up with your current projects and take it with you on a road trip or with you to your quilt classes, quilt retreats, or even your monthly quilt meetings.

I have to say that I love this book! Got my copy last week and I look at it once a day dreaming of all the projects I want to try. But my first project is gonna be your tote! I love that thing! I ordered my fabric today and I can't wait to get started. My goal is to finish before my next quilt club meeting in August! We are on break in July for the county fair so I have a little extra time. Thank you for sharing this great project with us!!!

Your tote and sewing kit are great! I've never taken a class before so will bookmark so can prepare myself on what is good to take. Hope to win this book - as some of my favorite blogger/quilters have projects in the book (including you). Thanks.

I attempted to listen to the podcast yet came up with error message that the file extension of mp3 did not match the file format. I'm lost on how to get it to work. Anyway, congrats for your interview with Annie.

Kim...you KNOW how very excited I am for you. You deserve all the success in the world, you have worked hard, honed your skills and now, your dreams are coming true. So proud of you my friend, so happy for you! Love you forever. (But you knew that already!)

How cool is this Tote Bag Kimberly! Great way to use a Jelly Roll pack - gotta have it. Love how you did your description of this tote bag and had links to each of the supplies that you used and mentioned in your write-up - very user friendly. Thanks - great job. Your website is also very easy to move around in and that means alot to all of us who deal with time crunches. Thanks again and hope to see more of your work(s). Mary K. in VA

Love both your projects. I'm always looking for a way to travel with my projects....lets just say, so far, I've been less than successful! Anything designed by someone in the profession is always more detailed than a generic design! Thank you!
